It was a very slow, sideways, Friday trade. The VIX continues to get crushed, closing at 12.55 today. There is a long list of economic reports next week with inflation data and retail sales.
The stock indexes have gone into low VIX melt up mode during a week with very few economic reports with consecutive up closes. The 10 am consumer sentiment reading was certainly disappointing today and generated some selling pressure. The Russell was down -0.81% but the Nasdaq and S&P futures closed up on the day with no fear in site.
The One Million MNS 110 was down today -$6,755 or -0.67% on the day. We did not trade live. When we do, we will be trading a 20% allocation of this in the 250K Portfolio.
The One Million MNS 110 was down 4 days in a row to end the week but still up about $25K on the month or 2.5%. Since we stopped live trading on April 26th, the One Million MNS 110 is up about 7K which would be +$1,400 in the 250K Portfolio.
We are at or near a drawdown entry alert with a 2.6% or 26K drawdown on the One Million MNS 110 but Monday's are typically choppy. I will be doing "week of CPI" analysis this weekend since we have CPI next week. Monday through Wednesday could be choppy with some resolution on Thursday and Friday. We are near a good entry point though and want to capture the gains at the right time. Stay tuned for my CPI research.
The Stock Index Portfolio 18 was up $132.50 today per E-mini with only two trades in the 18 strategies. It was a slow afternoon without many trading opportunities.
